In case the font is too small, the words at the bottom are: “VINDICATION: When the loudest critic of your policies achieves his greatest success because of them.”

I can hear the liberal cries of outrage, so to recap:
The interrogations of KSM (which included waterboarding) and the interrogation of Hassan Ghul (held in “black site” prisons) were key to identifying the courier; the president then authorized military action in a foreign country without going to the United Nations or informing the host government;

the military action was unilateral, and we did not consult with our allies;

Congress was not informed of the military action; and it increasingly appears that no serious effort was made to treat Osama bin Laden as a criminal (reading him his rights, etc.).

The monitoring of Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti’s phone call was a result of an extensive global wiretapping system. Furthermore, as Charles Krauthammer notes, the helicopters used in the raid came from Bagram and Jalalabad;

if we had withdrawn from Afghanistan on the antiwar Left’s timetable, we would have had no bases from which to launch this operation.

Well done to one president for enacting all of these policy changes, and well done to his successor for keeping them in place.

From the day he' set foot in office, he's been a republican president.

But the many Democrats (perhaps not the America hating kook left though) is CHEERING his actions on OBL.

They are falling all over themselves giving him credit and HE is falling all over HIMSELF trying to claim credit.

Yet the truth of the matter is that this PIECE OF SHIT got elected by smearing the former President and making wild accusations about the policies Bush authorized. He garnered millions of votes by lying about Gitmo, Rendition, and nearly everything connected with gathering intelligence to get OBL.

Now those very same policies ARE THE MAIN REASON we got enough information to get the bastard.
